The output reduction at the factory in the southern city of Huizhou comes just six months after Samsung said it would close its only other handset plant in China, in the northeastern city of Tianjin, in a move it said would enhance efficiency. In the three months of 2019, however, Samsung’s smartphone sales volume in China rose 40% versus the previous three months, helped strong promotion of premium models and cheaper mass-market handsets, showed an April report from Counterpoint Research.

Samsung declined to detail the plant’s capacity, staff numbers or degree of production cut when contacted by Reuters.
